A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty - it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. (Albert Einstein)
I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it. (Albert Einstein)

"Gravity explains the motions of the planets, but it cannot explain who set the planets in motion. God governs all things and knows all that is or can be done." (Isaac Newton).

Yes- the existence of God cannot be proved -- nor disproved with logical arguments. The belief has more to do with personal experiences.
The minds of these two men went to places that most of us could not comprehend. There's no telling what these men experienced in their lives.

Einstein was a nontheist.
"I am a deeply religious non-believer. This is a somewhat new kind of religion." -- Albert Einstein
“Buddhism has the characteristics of what would be expected in a cosmic religion for the future: It transcends a personal God, avoids dogmas and theology; it covers both the natural and the spiritual, and it is based on a religious sense aspiring from the experience of all things, natural and spiritual, as a meaningful unity.” -- Albert Einstein
“The religion of the future will be a cosmic religion. The religion which based on experience, which refuses dogmatic. If there's any religion that would cope the scientific needs it will be Buddhism....” -- Albert Einstein
“I cannot imagine a God who rewards and punishes the objects of his creation [and] is but a reflection of human frailty.” -- Albert Einstein
“I believe in Spinoza's God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with fates and actions of human beings” -- Albert Einstein [Spinoza's God is a philosophy that there is no actual deific being, but that the laws of nature are themselves worthy of awe and respect, a nontheistic point of view]
“I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the kind that we experience in ourselves. Neither can I nor would I want to conceive of an individual that survives his physical death; let feeble souls, from fear or absurd egoism, cherish such thoughts. I am satisfied with the mystery of the eternity of life and with the awareness and a glimpse of the marvelous structure of the existing world, together with the devoted striving to comprehend a portion, be it ever so tiny, of the Reason that manifests itself in nature.” -- Albert Einstein
“It seems to me that the idea of a personal God is an anthropological concept which I cannot take seriously. I also cannot imagine some will or goal outside the human sphere.” -- Albert Einstein
“It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in a personal God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it.” -- Albert Einstein

Did you know that you are 100% wrong in your statement? Einstein openly admitted that he never believed in God and Newton only believed in God in a fashionable way (anybody who wanted to be taken seriously in those times had to believe in God).

did you know that Issac Newton didn't believe in the Trinity? and Einstein was at most a deist?

Did you know they deny the God character of the Bible? Instead, they think there must be some unknowable creator of some sort.

Well I was going to refute Einstein for you, but you beat me to it. So do you want to rephrase your question?

Add Nikola Tesla to your list. And Thomas Edison for that matter.
